All machines guarantee excellent quality; high repeating accuracy; seams and pleats with exact measurements. Only brief instructions required due to the simple and operator-friendly handling. Darts are sewn from the pocket opening to the point. This ensures a slim, neat point with no untidy “dimples”. The patented material take-over station assures exact seams. The feeding table in different sizes (option: with vacuum) ensures exact positioning of the workpieces and their insertion during sewing. This partially overlapping work method enables the economic use of the machine (-23/12 + -25/xx: positioning via laser pointer). Conversion independent of guide rails / pre-programmed seam contours enable a change of operations in a matter of seconds. Start backtacks, condensed stitches at end of the seam increase the quality additionally. The device for a „neat seam start“and the suction device for thread rests are new optional features for the machines -23/12, -25/11 and -25/12.
Efficiency, flexibility and performance are the deciding advantages of the new PFAFF 3686. Within 8 hours you can sew for example 650 pairs of trousers with 4 darts and 4 waistband pleats (without basted seam).
